Controllables v. Uncontrollables

Not every day is amazing. However, you can control your mindset when you wake up and start the day. You can't control how someone else acts, but you can control how you react. Specifically relating to real estate, the biggest uncontrollable right now is interest rates. We can only control how we respond to the increase or decrease in rates. We can control scripts, dialogues, educating our clients, educating ourselves, taking action, and finding buyers will to participate in this market. You get paid based on how you react to the uncontrollables. If you aren't closing deals in today's market, you're letting uncontrollables define how you're doing business. Whether the market is up or down, you still have a business to run. It's easy for you just to say, "My business is down because of interest rates or lack of inventory." But it's actually an opportunity for you to double down and take action, setting yourself apart from other agents. Block out the noise and get to work.
